It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Alla Mae Chattom, who left us on October 2, 2023, at 95 years of age. Born on March 5, 1928, Alla Mae lived a life marked by enduring strength, a nurturing heart, and unwavering dedication to her family.

Alla Mae was predeceased by her loving husband of 55 years, Daniel Chattom, and her dear daughters, Linda Howard and Terri Ellison (Charles). She was also predeceased by her beloved sister Alice Faye Johnson (Terry), brother Billy Wayne Warren (Shirley), and grandson, Clarence Douglas Howard Jr. Their memory continues to live on in the hearts of all who loved them.

She leaves behind a considerable legacy embodied by her sister, surviving children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. Her sister, Alda Rae Canfield (Wallace), daughter, Nora Loper (John), and son, Jerry Chattom (Velma), remember her fondly as a guiding light in their lives. Her love also extends to her numerous grandchildren: Jackie Vaughan, Charles (Ruff) Ellison, Sonya Byrd, John Loper Jr. (Melissa), Corey Howard, Bertha Steet, Daniel Chattom, Don Loper, Amy Ellison, Ron Loper (Jessica), Samantha Chattom (Paul), and Mitchell Ellison (Courtney), whose lives have been enriched by her wisdom, kindness, and love. Her memory also lives on in her granddaughter and caregiver, Emily Hatton (Daniel), who has been a source of strength and inspiration to the family.

Alla Mae was a beacon of unwavering faith and love. Her family, friends, and loved ones will forever remember her warm smile, nurturing nature, and enduring strength. She was passionate about sharing the love of our Lord with others and was an integral part of Myers Memorial Baptist Church. A loyal servant to God, Alla Mae spent many of her hours dedicating her life to teaching. She also enjoyed cooking and showing love to others in the form of giving gifts of various hand-made crafts such as sewing, crochet, and doll making. But most of all, she enjoyed spending time and singing with her family and friends at family reunions, parties, and homecoming events.

Now that Alla Mae has passed into the arms of our Lord, we should remind ourselves that while this is the end of Alla Mae’s physical life on Earth, it’s the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for her.

A Memorial service for Alla Mae will be held on October 10, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at Myers Memorial Baptist Church. We invite all who knew and loved Alla Mae to join us as we celebrate her remarkable life and find comfort in the shared memories of her love.

We request your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Alla Mae's spirit, love, and memory will forever remain in our hearts, guiding and inspiring us in life.
